• The cooking time depends on the con- dition, temperature, amount of food and on the type of cookware.

• Begin with the minimum cooking time to help prevent overcooking. If the food is not sufficiently cooked you can always cook it for a little longer. N.B.: If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch fire and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

2) Small Quantities of Foods

• Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and remove the plug from the socket.

• Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode, even after the microwave heating has ended.

• Food with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

• Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when the meat has been removed from the oven. Do not use a conventional meat thermometer in the microwave oven because it may cause sparking.

• When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following- steps should be taken: a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. b) Do not overheat. c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the cooking time. d) After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a short time, stir again before carefully removing the container.

• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if over- heated.

• Do not use recycled paper products (e.g. Kitchen Roll) unless the paper product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires during use.

• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing the bags in the oven.

• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might explode.

• Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should not be used during microwave cooking. Sparking will occur.

• If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes or metalware the distance between them and the oven walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent sparking.

9) Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars

• The top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bottles or baby food jars before placing in the oven.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken.

• The temperature has to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.[1] Door Release Button Press to open the door.

The time in thedisplay will count down.En-9 Defrosting Guidelines Tips for Defrosting Check the defrosting several times, even if you use the auto programs (NN-K155/K125 only). Observe the standing times. STANDING TIMES Individual portions of food may be cooked almost immediately after defrosting. It is normal for large portions of food to be frozen in the centre. Before cooking, allow to stand for a minimum of one hour. During this standing time, the temperature becomes evenly distributed and the food is defrosted by conduction. N.B. If the food is not going to be cooked immediately, store it in the refrigerator. Never refreeze defrosted food without first cooking it.

It is preferable to place the joints on an upturned plate or plastic rack so that they are not resting in the juices. It is essential to protect delicate or projecting parts of this food with small pieces of foil to prevent these parts from cooking. It is not dangerous to use small pieces of foil in your oven, provided they do not come into contact with the oven walls. MINCED MEAT OR CUBES OF MEAT AND SEAFOOD Since the outside of these foods quickly defrosts, it is necessary to separate them, break the blocks into pieces frequently while defrosting and remove them when they have defrosted.

SMALL PORTIONS OF FOOD

Chops and chicken pieces must be separated as soon as possible so that they defrost evenly throughout. Fatty parts and the ends defrost more quickly. Place them near the centre of the turntable or protect them. BREAD Loaves will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and rolls and loaves cut in half. EnglishEn-10 Grilling N.B.

1. Place food on wire rack on turntable. Place a heatproof plate (Pyrex

) underneath to catch fat and drips.

2. Never cover foods when grilling.

3. DO NOT attempt to preheat the grill.

4. The grill will only operate with the oven door closed. It is not possible to use the grill function with

5. There is no microwave power on the GRILL only program.

6. Most foods require turning halfway during cooking. When turning food, open oven door and

CAREFULLY remove wire rack using oven gloves.

7. After turning, return food to the oven and close door. For NN-K105/K135 grill mode will restart

when the oven door is closed. For NN-K155/K125, after closing oven door, press START. The oven display will continue to count down the remaining grilling time. It is quite safe to open the oven door at any time to check the progress of the food as it is grilling.

8. The grill will glow on and off during cooking - this is normal. Always clean the oven after using the

Grill and before using the microwave or combination.

9. NN-K105/K135 only: After grill use the thermostat may switch off to prevent overheating. If using

continuously, allow oven to cool between cooking.

1. The wire rack is designed to be used for Combination and Grilling. Never attempt to use any other

metal accessory except the one provided with the oven. Place a heatproof dish underneath to catch any fat or drips.

2. Use the wire rack only as described. DO NOT use if operating the oven with less than 200g of food

on a manual program. For small quantities do not cook by combination, cook by GRILL or MICROWAVE ONLY for best results.

3. Never cover foods when cooking on combination.

4. DO NOT preheat the grill on combination.

5. Arcing may occur if the incorrect weight of food is used, the wire rack has been damaged, or a

metal container has been used accidentally. Arcing is flashes of blue light seen in the microwave. If this occurs, stop the oven immediately.

6. Some foods should be cooked on combination without using the wire rack i.e. roasts, gratins, pies

and puddings. The food should be placed in a heatproof non-metallic dish and placed directly onto the turntable.

7. DO NOT use plastic MICROWAVE containers on combination programs (unless suitable for

combination cooking.) Dishes must be able to withstand the heat of the top grill - heatproof glass e.g. Pyrex

or ceramic are ideal.

8. DO NOT use your own metal dishes or tins, as the microwaves will not penetrate the food evenly.

9. NN-K105/K135 only: After grill use the thermostat may switch off to prevent overheating. If using

continuously, allow oven to cool between cooking. CAUTION: The wire rack must always be used with the glass tray in position.

What is causing these noises? Questions and Answers Q: Why won’t my oven turn on? A: When the oven does not turn on, check the following:

1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug

from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.

2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset the

circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown.

3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug another

appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appliance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet. If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorized Service Center. A: Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven. A: The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect program. For example NN-K155/K125, the oven will not accept a third stage. A: When cooking with a power other than 800W (MAX Power), the oven must cycle to obtain the lower power levels. The oven light dims and clicking noises can be heard when the oven cycles. A: The heat given off from the cooking food warms the air in the oven cavity. This warmed air is carried out of the oven by the air flow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking. A: Only when you are using GRILL cooking mode. The metal in some thermometers may cause arcing in your oven and should not be used on MICROWAVE and COMBINATION cooking modes. A: The noises occur as the oven automatically switches from MICROWAVE power to GRILL to create the combination setting. This is normal. Q: My microwave oven causes interference with my TV. Is this normal? Q: The oven won’t accept my program. Why? Q: Why does my oven light dim? Q: Sometimes warm air comes from the oven vents. Why? Q: Can I use a conventional oven thermometer in the oven? This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EC con- cerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). This guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appli- ances as applicable.7. The roller assembly and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth. The roller assembly may be washed in mild soapy water. Cooking vapours collect during repeated use but in no way affects the bottom surface or roller assembly wheels. After removing the roller assembly from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.

8. When using the GRILL or COMBINATION

mode, some foods may inevitably splatter grease on to the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally, it may start to “smoke” during use.

9. A steam cleaner is not to be used for

10. This oven should only be serviced by qualified

personnel. For maintenance and repair of the oven contact the nearest authorized dealer.

11. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean

condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

12. Keep air vents clear at all times. Check that

no dust or other material is blocking any of the air vents on the top, bottom or rear of the oven. If air vents become blocked this could cause overheating which would affect the operation of the oven.
